Current Heads of State/Government pool

Recommended Posts

Inspired by the large amount of heads of state and government who died in 2020 (Sultan Qaboos, Nkurunziza, Coulibaly, Prince Khalifa, Dlamini) and 2021 (Bakayoko, Magufuli and Deby) I've decided to make a pool focused on betting who's next.

 

List:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_heads_of_state_and_government

 

 

Rules:

Pick FIVE current heads of state or government. Only two of them can be over 80 at the time you post your picks. Two people can't have the same leader/leaders.

Designates don't count. If your pick gets ousted, retires or otherwise stops being a head of state/govt, please replace them with another.

You'll have to use the same team until someone gets a hit. After that you can pick another team to replace your old team or keep going with your old team.

 

 

Points:

Each pick is worth 1 point unless...

 

The younger the better-bonus:

State leaders aged 50-65 will get a bonus of 1 point

State leaders in their 40s will get a bonus of 3 points

State leaders in their 30s (or younger) will get a bonus of 10 points

 

Decades as leader-bonus

State leaders who have ruled a country over 20 years get a 2 point bonus.

 

Leaders who were both the head of state and the head of government get a bonus of 1 point

 

 

Cause of Death-bonuses

Overdoses and executions: 30 points

Non-assasination homicides: 20 points

Suicides: 15 points

Assasinations and accidents (such as plane crashes, drowning): 10 points

Had Alzheimer's at time of death: 3 points

 

 

My team:

Alexander Lukashenko (b. 1954) President of Belarus since 1994.

Boyko Borisov (b. 1959) Prime Minister of Bulgaria since 2017.

Mahamat Déby Itno (b. 1984) Chairman of the Transitional Military Council of Chad since 2021, head of state and government

Mette Frederiksen (b. 1977) Prime Minister of Denmark since 2019

Denis Sassou Nguesso (b. 1943) President of the Republic of Congo since 1997.
